Introducing... Alexa Rose!

Sooooo... I might've gone and had a baby. That'll explain my absence. That, and a good dose of laziness :)

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know that I birthed this little cutie patootie you see here. Her name is Alexa Rose, and she came screaming into this world on December 1, 2015, bum first (I had a cesarean), peeing and pooping on everyone. That's my girl :) Haha! She's been quite the handful but oh good grief, do I love her.

Alexa arrived a couple of weeks early, and thankfully, one week after my sisters arrived. My water broke right after the hubs left for work one morning. I yelled for my sisters to ring him so he could turn right back as I sat on the toilet in full panic lol Fun times indeed.

Her daddy took this picture and it's one of my faves. He must've been singing at her or something... I feel your pain, kiddo. But we love him anyway.

And here she is relaxing on her auntie. My sisters flew over from Singapore and Australia to help with Alexa, and to just soak up their niece. I'm so thankful they did because with my cesarean, I don't know how I'd have coped without them. They cooked, cleaned, helped me figure out this whole Mum thing, and it was just so much fun to have them around!

Anyway, I'm going to attempt to get back to posting more regularly as I find my feet in this whole motherhood thing. It's not easy, but that little face makes it all worthwhile :)

Congrats! My daughter was born kind of in a similar way, except my water broke 7 weeks early and she was born a week after that. Butt first c-section. (Did you get to do labor too?) Anyway she is beautiful and I'm so glad your sisters were able to help out.

Audrie! I'm so glad you're back! And you had a baby!! Congratulations!!! I hope you, the hubs and baby are all doing well. So nice you've had your sisters with you. (I always love your quilts...so glad you didn't just quit blogging:)

My dear Audrie, a big heartfelt congratulations on the next chapter of your life. I did not know you were with child so a big delight when I saw that you had posted something new. And a huge surprise when it was news of your wee babe. Take care my dear and rest well, you will need it (-: Blessed you are to have your sisters and husband so near to help and reassure. You are loved. And once again, congratulations to you all.

Well I have been wondering where you were. NOW....I see why -- you have been busy. Congrats on the most Beautiful baby girl. She is sooooo CUTE!! Your sisters must be just tickled pink. Have fun with her.

Congratulations ! That's a nice reason to stay away from blogging for a little while, you are right to make the most of this precious time !Glad to have you back in Blogland nevertheless, and your daughter is oh so cute !
